hi. I've been using my F5X for over three weeks and have logged in about 10 runs. The device is yet to display training status other than "NO STATUS". V02 MAX had also remained unchanged from the very first VO2Max displayed despite device notification of " highly improving V o2 max" with subsequent runs . Performance status yet to display. Does any other new user have this issues
I'm not using a HR strap. I understand it is not necessary on the fenix 5 for training status updates. The device says to run a couple of times outdoors. I've clocked in 10 runs so far

I think it's required for a VO2max, but not sure about training status.
It's not! I have logged 18 runs using only watch HR (optical) and I get fine V02max readings!
Thanks. I thought so too. I called Garmin yesterday and they didn't really seem to know exactly why it's behaving this way and asked that I change the heart rate zones. By default I allow the devices to set the max heart rate using my profile. Almost all the heart calculators I have used give similar values. I also used other means to calculate the Vo2 max and I get readings different from the single reading I have on the device. This is a bit frustrating.
Question: how many runs did you have to log before the device started updating the v02 and training status? I have logged 11 runs so far but training status has remained unchanged from day 1(No Status) and V02 MAX has not been recording apart from the first and only recording.
